An internship at the Orlando Sentinel will take you into the heart of the ultimate journalism class: a multiplatform newsroom where reporters and editors gather information in one of America's newsiest metropolitan areas, then present it online and in print.

Reporting internships are available in Spanish-language journalism as well as in English.

If you were in Orlando in 1974 for the debut of the legendary Rosie O'Grady's nightclub, created by Orlando businessman Bob Snow, you may have witnessed the start of tradition that has endured for 40 years: The Rosie O'Grady's Highlanders Pipes & Drums Band. Still going strong after four decades of public appearances and competitions, I caught up with the bagpipers during their recent appearance at the Ormond Beach Celtic Festival. Nothing makes a dramatic entrance quite like the sound of a dozen perfectly-tuned bagpipes, supported by the tight percussive sounds of the band's drumline.

KEYSTONE CAMERA Products Corp., a maker of low-priced cameras that has struggled against stiff foreign competition, filed Monday for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Act. The company, based in Clifton, N.J., is the only U.S. producer of 35mm and 110mm cameras. Keystone said it hopes to reorganize and continue filling orders.

As the 500th anniversary of Ponce de Leon's discovery of the Florida peninsula begins to wind down from its year-long 2013 celebration, another big history party is just getting prepared to ramp up: the 450th anniversary of the establishment of St. Augustine, America's oldest city. As I mulled the photography possibilities related to the coming 450th commemoration, I went on a scouting mission to the legendary old-town district in St. Augustine: St. George Street. An afternoon photo safari yielded this eclectic mix of portraits, featuring locals, tourists and performers.

Here are tips regarding photography and privacy from the online book "The Law for Photographers" by Andrew Hudson. •It is possible to take a photo legally but it still could be illegal to publish that photo. For instance, trespassing or trademark infringement could prevent legal publication. •People who are openly in public view (on the street, on the beach) can be photographed. •People are permitted a "reasonable expectation of privacy. " You can't photograph people when they're out of public view and in a private area, such as in a changing room, bathroom or doctor's office.

The kick-off of a downtown Orlando art event is going to catch a few eyes and stop traffic. It’s called spatial augmented reality, which is a mouthful for something that at first sounds like an old-fashioned slide show mounted in a large scale. But the effect for the opening event of the Snap! Orlando photography weekend is more sophisticated than that. Photographs including images from the Snap! exhibits will be projected on the side of the Kress Building in a show designed to blend and bend along the crevices of the art deco facade.

WHAT : Old techniques, modern vision. That's the unspoken tie between the dual exhibits opening this week at the Southeast Museum of Photography, though the visions behind each could not be more different. Canadian filmmaker Curtis Wehrfritz filters his fever dreams through the daguerreotype process (a forerunner of modern photography) for the spooky tableaus of his "Fluidrive" series. Meanwhile, New York photographer Joni Sternbach develops the wistful beach portraits in her ongoing "Surfland" series through the wet-plate collodion process photographers used in the 1850s.

For more than two decades, Charles "Charlie" Ross was able to combine two things that he loved doing: photography and serving his country. A 24-year Marine Corps veteran, Ross worked as a combat photographer during both the Korean conflict and the Vietnam War. "He had a love of photography, and the military recognized that and made him a combat photographer," said his daughter, Cheryl Cicotti of Longwood. "His pictures and movies were featured in many military documentaries, and every now and then we will still see some of his footage on the History Channel or the Military Channel.

MOUNT DORA - The photo of a couple of people enjoying lunch, above, was taken with what Sentinel photographer Ricardo Ramirez Buxeda calls the most basic of lenses - none at all. It was taken with a pinhole - the tiny hole that lets light through a light-tight box (camera), below left. For best results you need a very bright, sunny day. For Ramirez's recent pinhole photos, exposures were fairly long, ranging from 1 through 15, and even 30 seconds. Long exposures show the motion of swaying trees, leaves and flowers.
